Wife Of A Ruthless Mafia Boss (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 33

"Do you usually cook po?" usisa ni Erom habang mariin na pinanunuod si Valjerome sa kanyang ginagawang pagluluto.

Four days had passed, and I could say that my son and ex-husband got close to each other.

Saglit niyang nilingon ang anak ko at tipid na ngumiti. "Hindi ako palaging nagluluto," sagot niya.

Kita ko ang paniningkit ng mata ni Erom mula sa high chair na inuupuan niya. Nandoon siya sa may L-shaped na center island habang ako naman ay nakaupo sa pwesto ng hapagkainan.

"But you always cook po. You always prepare the food," my son pointed out, confused.

Valjerome giggled and continued cooking. "Because you are special that's why I am the one who cooked the food," he explained.

"Why am I special?" agad na tanong ni Erom.

Hindi naman agad nakasagot si Valjerome. Slowly, he glanced at my son and forced a smile.

"Because you are..." I saw him gulp. "Cute," he continued.

Napaiwas ako ng tingin nang balingan niya ako ng tingin, nagpapanggap na hindi nakikinig sa pag-uusap nilang dalawa.

"Because my mom is pretty po, that's why," my son uttered.

Once again, Valjerome chuckled. "Yeah. She's gorgeous that's why everyone loves her."

I secretly balled my fist.

What is he scheming?

Nagpatuloy ang anak ko at ang dati kong asawa sa pag-uusap hanggang sa biglang pumasok si Jaime sa kusina. Sandali siyang yumuko para magbigay galang sa aming lahat.

"Ms. Briones is here," he informed.

Wala sa sariling napaangat ang isa kong kilay nang pumasok ang isang babae kasunod ni Jaime. Matangkad siya, mapayat, at may pagkabalingkinitan ang bewang. Nakasuot siya ng isang hapit na pulang bestida, halos nakikita ko ang kalahati ng kanyang dibdib dahil may kalakihan iyon.

Ikaw na ang pinagpala.

"What are you doing here, Herra?" Valjerome asked.

I rolled my eyes when he glanced at me. Wala pa man ay tila dumedepensa na siya base sa kanyang pagtingin.

As if I didn't know you're a womanizer. Psh!

"I'm here to talk about the deal. Oh, may bisita ka pala. Who are they?" maarteng wika niya at saka ako pinasadahan ng tingin. I can sense that she's trying to intimidate me.

I just sat on my chair and gracefully lifted the glass in front of me, showing how unbothered I am with her presence.

"You don't need to know. Jaime, bring her to my office," utos ni Valjerome sa kanyang tauhan saka tiningnan ang babae. "Doon mo 'ko hintayin," aniya sa walang emosyon.

Kumunot ang noo ng babae bilang pagtataka. "Hihintayin kita?" hindi makapaniwala niyang usal saka sarkastikong tumawa.

Valjerome's jaw clenched. "Got a problem with that?" his cold tone was evident in his voice.
